Independent pharmacies and regional chains can build local awareness with messages about store hours, front-end retail offerings, community participation, and professionally relevant services, subject to substantiation and applicable rules.

Community and Contextual Outreach

Use broad local geography, non-health contextual placements, community publications, professional associations, employer-approved channels, and locally relevant retail messages. These approaches should not select people based on visits to pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, or other care locations, and should not infer prescription use, conditions, treatment, or care interest.
